NAPOLEON’S SECOND WIFE
ESTIMATE OF MARRIAGE. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Recd. December 19, 1 p.m.) LONDON, December 18. Marie Louise’s diary for the years 1810 to 1813 was sold for £490 at Sotheby’s. She describes her impressions on boarding 'the Charlemagne, the first warship she had seen. She says that she showed so much of her legs, when ascending the steps, that she vowed she would not climb on a battleship again, without wearing trousers. She caught rheumatism through Napoleon taking her for an evening walk in short sleeves. Napoleon frequently scolded and ordered her about. She declares: “Men are insufferable. If I returned from another world, I certainly would not marry.”
